Synopsis
Escaped convict Tommy Swann (John McCallum) begs his former mistress (Googie Withers) to hide him from the police. She is now married with two stepdaughters and a stepson. She hides him but as the police close in she tries to gas herself but fails. Eventually the police capture Swann after an exciting chase across railway yards. Lots of small character parts add authenticity to a bleak tale of the East End of London.
